What else can I help you with?
Does the body of a direct proof show that the assumption leads to a contradiction?
False
What word means to assume without proof?
Assumption
What is a basic assumption that is accepted without proof?
A postulate.
If one were trying to prove that an angle is right by indirect proof what should the initial assumption be?
The initial assumption is "that it is NOT a right angle"
How does an indirect proof differ from a regular proof?
Given a proposition X, a regular proof known facts and logical arguments to show that X must be true. For an indirect proof, you assume that the negation of X is true. You then use known facts and logical arguments to show that this leads to a contradiction. The conclusion then is that the assumption about ~X being true is false and that is equivalent to showing that X is true.
Method of proof starting with false assumption?
Induction
Assume the truth of a thing to be proved?
Assuming the truth of something to be proved is known as beggining the proof using the assumptive method in logic. This method helps establish the validity of a statement by starting with the assumption that it is true and then deriving logical consequences from that assumption. However, it is important to later verify that the assumption leads to a valid conclusion through rigorous proof.
True or false In the body of a direct proof you must show that the assumption leads to a contradiction?
false
Does the body of a direct proof show that the assumption leads to a contradiction?

True or false In the body of an indirect proof you must show that the assumption leads to a contradiction?
TrueIt is true that the body of an indirect proof you must show that the assumption leads to a contradiction. In math a proof is a deductive argument for a mathematical statement.

How do you create your own theoretical assumption?
Theoretical assumption is the first step of the scientific method of proof, cause and effect. Your observations allow you to make assumptions and collecting empirical data can give you the proof. Thereby changing your theorem to accepted fact, practical data.
What are the steps to writing an Indirect Proof in Geometry?
Identify the conjecture to be proven.Assume the opposite of the conclusion is true.Use direct reasoning to show that the assumption leads to a contradiction.Conclude that the assumption is false and hence that the original conjecture must be true.
What is research assumption?
making a premise without proof
What word means to assume without proof?
Assumption
What is a basic assumption that is accepted without proof?
A postulate.
